Abstract

The interpretation of the constitution by the Constitutional Court marks the occurrence of informal changes to the constitution as a result of the dialectic between the constitutional document (the 1945 Constitution) and certain primary forces of constitutional change. This study employs four approaches: the conceptual approach, the statutory approach, the case approach, and the comparative approach. This study concludes that several articles in the 1945 Constitution, following the amendments, have changed ius constituendum, as the norms that apply as ius constitutum are those that have evolved through the method of constitutional interpretation by the Constitutional Court. It is this ius constitutum that functions as a quasi-constitution.
